Getting from Tirana Airport (TIA) to Shkodër takes about 1h 45min by car on an empty road (1h 45min – 2h 10min in heavy traffic) over 84 km via SH1 and A1. Our private transfer costs €90 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €130 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: Tirana Airport has a single passenger terminal. Your driver waits in its arrivals hall, after passport control, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Shkodër is the main city of northern Albania, set between Lake Shkodër and the rivers Buna and Drin, about 85 km north of the airport. The route heads north on the A1 and the SH1 national road through Fushë-Krujë, Milot and Lezhë, then crosses the flat plain to Shkodër. Sections of the SH1 pass through towns and villages with roundabouts and lower speed limits, so the drive usually takes around an hour and a half. The city is also the starting point for trips to Theth and the Albanian Alps and to the Montenegrin border.
Central Shkodër is flat and easy to explore: the pedestrian street Rruga Kolë Idromeno with its restored houses leads to the main square, and most hotels lie within walking distance of it. Rozafa Castle stands on a hill at the southern edge of the city above the Buna and Drin rivers, around 3 km from the centre. Shiroka, a lakeside village with restaurants, lies about 6 km away on the shore of Lake Shkodër. Many visitors stay one night here before continuing to Theth, Valbona or Komani Lake in the mountains.
Public transport instead: Hermes Airport shpk bus Rinas – Shkodra from Tirana Airport terminal to Shkodër, 4 departures a day from the airport (11:15, 12:45, 17:30, 20:10).
